Just What's Going On Here?
The short answer to this question is: Your Sun sign tells about your basic ego, your Moon sign tells about you emotional inner self, and your Ascendant tells about your outer presentation to the rest of the world.

The Qualities of Moon Energy
Using Moon Sign Energy in Your Daily Life
It's an interesting bit of Astrological wisdom that if you schedule your daily activities while keeping in mind the Moon's position in the sky that day, you'll give yourself a little cosmic edge in getting through your To-Do list faster, better and more successfully -- especially on the days when the Moon changes signs. As always, you'll need to avoid starting anything important when the Moon is void of course, but going with the flow of celestial currents in the daily tasks and chores you have to get done as a regular part of life brings that extra boost of help we all can use with a sigh of relief ... and thanks.
So, get yourself an astrological calendar. (My hands-down favorite is Jim Maynard's Pocket Astrologer.) And keep track of the Moon's position in the signs as it travels through the Zodiac each month. It creates a rhythm that is efficient, natural and often oh-so-welcome -- especially when you face a myriad of options and are wondering what on earth to do next. The suggestions of the Moon-sign-energy-of-the-moment can help you make a choice.

A Matter of Quality
Practical Applications of Moon Energy
As I wrote in the companion piece to this essay, The Qualities of Moon Energy, if you keep in mind the Moon's position in the sky on any given day ... while you set or go about your normal schedule of chores and activities, you can use the natural flow of Life's emotional energy to give yourself a little extra boost to get from where you are to where you want to be. If you're like me, anything that helps you plow through your To-Do list faster or more successfully is a trick-of-the-trade worth trying.
Especially on the days when the Moon changes signs, aligning the most compatible elements of your day with the prevailing Moon energy while it is available can make a surprising difference in how the chores, tasks and routines get crossed off your agenda -- leaving your more time to do something fun. (And isn't that a great idea?!)

Beyond Quality Control
Using Moon Energy in Your Daily Life
If you schedule your daily activities around a conscious awareness of the Moon's current sign position in the sky, you'll find life simply flows better. Your To-Do list gets whittled down faster. You hit fewer unexpected obstacles. You have natural help in getting through life's routine business, and in the course of a month, all the major divisions in your life get at least some of their fair share of attention.
Your mood improves, too ... because you're not trying to force yourself to do things when the cosmic focus is pointed elsewhere. You run errands on days when you're most apt to feel like being out and about -- and you let yourself enjoy some down-time on days when the emotional currents invite privacy and time for healing and reflection.

Major Aspects of the Moon
It describes the astrological symbolism of the major aspects of the Moon ... the conjunction, sextile, square, trine and opposition ... and what these various patterns depict in the changing emotional climate of real life.

The Moon's Nodes
Unlike the Sun, Moon or other planets in a Natal Horoscope, the Moon's Nodes are not physical entities. They are theoretical, conceptual points in celestial longitude where the Moon crosses over the ecliptic -- the path of the Sun. There are two nodes of the Moon, the North node and the South node. The nodes in a Natal Chart are always directly opposite one another by sign, degree and house placement. Their motion is normally retrograde, approximately one degree every 19 days. The placement of the Nodes shows a relationship between the Moon, the Earth and the Sun. Eclipses are calculated by the movement of the nodal axis.

The Moon in its Celestial Voyage
The Moon's position in the sky and in the Zodiac plots the emotional climate of life for us all. The Moon doesn't cause the emotional shifts and changing tone of the different moods we all experience. It simply corresponds in its position to the natural rhythms of life, and as such provides a convenient indicator of what's happening, where we are in the monthly cycle of progression through the different signs from Aries to Pisces, and what phase of emotional creativity dominates in the world at any particular time.

There's More than One Kind of Weather
The Moon, Moods, and More ...
We're all affected by the weather. And we're affected by different kinds of weather. There are sunny days ... and rainy ones. Sultry, humid, stagnant days when nobody wants to move and you can't wait for the sun to go down, and stormy conditions when good cover and the protection of your home are the dearest things on earth.

Eclipses
In ancient times, eclipses were viewed with fear and wariness -- since they were imperfectly understood But even today, when we fully understand the cause of eclipses ... and can predict their appearances years in advance, there's still a definite ambivalence -- even among astrologers -- about this peculiar, visually stunning astronomical phenomenon.

Moon Energy and Life's Natural Flow
There is a rhythm to life, a creative and predictable pattern that repeats itself month after month after month ... and moves "progress" relentlessly along -- for each individual, for humanity as a whole, for Life as we know it.
Whether we are aware of this or not, it affects us all. And for anyone who wants to live as consciously as possible, knowing, feeling, and working deliberately with this natural sequence of energy ... is a huge positive step toward alignment with All That Is. It literally helps you "go with the flow" instead of struggling against it.

Moonstruck
The Moon, which astronomers know influences the mighty tides of the Earth's oceans and which provides a ever-changing display of celestial beauty in its eternal journey across the sky, is also an extremely important symbol to astrologers. It symbolizes your instincts, habits, inner feelings, intuitions, hunches, and reactions ... your inner emotional tides, if you will, the light and dark moods that create their own ever-changing texture of feelings and responses in your life.

Moon Magic
The Moon has a mystique all its own. It is often associated with secrecy and mystery ... and is associated with strange, uncanny powers. It evokes a peculiar range of responses in cultures everywhere, from curiosity and wonder, to romance and affection, to awe and dread. In legend (and the lore of police and hospital personnel), the Full Moon brings forth weird behaviors, extreme reactions, and over-the-top emotional outbursts associated with no other time on the calendar.

Using the Moon to Bring You the Success You Know You Deserve
It gives me great pleasure to present these 'instructions' and ask that you use them to bring about whatever it is you want from your life. Before I do so can I offer the following information for your consideration.
To give a brief explanation: the Moon points to a basic emotional need. Remember this, for it will help you understand your needs rather than your wants. For example: Moon in Cancer gives the emotional need for home and family, in Taurus for roots and stability. These are needs and when understood can help cope with those moments of depression (which the Moon also rules) when your needs are not being met.
